Well, I would but I am awaiting a criticism, just in case someone has something they wish to add that supports the clones as Shadoo and not as simple enemies created by Shadoo. Otherwise, it would look like a rather drastic piece of speculation that could mess up the whole article, I would possibly need approval from many more people, before it could be allowed to be mentioned. I might, at the very least, try to neutalise the article, which does not necessarily support either possibility, and goes with what is knowable JUST through playing the game.

== Screenshots == | |||
We only have a screenshot of Dark Luigi's entrance. Could someone upload screenshots of the other clones, preferably using their abilities? I could do it, but they won't be high quality.<br> | |||

== Sprites or Cards == | |||
Once again, we have sprites of a boss, yet think we need to use the catch cards, when there's really no reason to. The catch cards are the same as the sprites, just with that distracting background. I see no reason to use Catch Cards and not sprites. The cards can still be viewed at [[List of Catch Cards]]. The same thing has happened at [[Count Bleck]], so this is for that article too. Can I get an opinion on this?<br> | |||
P.S. The clones are out of order. They are fought in reverse of the order the characters are unlocked, e.g., Dark Luigi, Dark Bowser, Dark Peach, Dark Mario. Right now they are order Dark Peach, Dark Luigi, Dark Mario, Dark Bowser.<br> | |||

==On the "identity" section== | |||
<nowiki></nowiki>"''Shadoo's true identity and backstory are never revealed; however, it bears some resemblance to the Pixl Queen discussed by Carson. The Pixl Queen was created by an Ancient, and after developing a grudge against her people due to how they used the Pixls, she attempted to overthrow the Ancients by taking control of the Pixls[1], similar to how Shadoo hated the Ancients and wished to use the Heroes' Pixl companions to exact its revenge. The Pixl Queen was also said to have "powers of illusion", which she used to hide from sight[2], just as Shadoo hid itself, a Warp Pipe, and the clones. Furthermore, the details of the Pixl Queen's fate is not revealed, with Carson only stating that she was "defeated", with the Dark Prognosticus being "taken from her" after her defeat[3], suggesting she survived the battle (unlike the Pixl that helped defeat her)[4]. Additionally, his speech bubble resembles the computer-type bubble used by characters like Tiptron, Fracktail, and Wracktail, implying he is mechanical. Shadoo's real self is unknown.''" | |||
This section was removed on the ground of "being nothing but just a bunch of speculation". I think this was a bad decision that shows a lack of critical thinking. To quote our very own [[MarioWiki: Good Writing]] page: | |||
"''That being said, analysis and dissection are not inherently bad if they're kept to a minimum. There are admittedly some things included in the Mario series that are left somewhat ambiguous (i.e. '''the various character backstories hinted at in Super Paper Mario'''), and it is better to have something rather than nothing about these aspects. But keep in mind that the interpretations must be straightforward and logical, backed up with solid references (i.e. the original quotes from the games or related material), and explicitly stated to be "implied" or "hinted at" (etc.), rather than passed off as solid fact. ''" | |||
Of course fan speculation based on nothing but coincidental similarities should be removed, but this isn't that. The section point out objective similarities between two characters who appear in the same game, is backed by quotes from the game that it provides in the references and it doesn't try to pass itself as The Truth: it even ends with the statement "Shadoo's real self is unknown". If anything, the section is ''examplary'' for showing how quote-unquote speculative content should be handled. | |||
Not everything the wiki covers can be "confirmed". Creator lies, forget, and good storytellers leaving thing deliberatly ambiguous. In that respect, if a game hints at a plot thread, it's better to have ''something'' than nothing as long straightforward and provide evidences, and removing that content because "it's not confirmed" makes for a poorer website. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 09:59, 6 January 2017 (EST) | |||

We need an image of Shadoo's eye. | |||

== Shadoo (general) == | |||
We need to get to the end of this. | |||
Shadoo is, for what we know, an eye, we don’t know if he has a body or not, but what I know is that he can turn 3D. I’m serious, because how could he go to the foreground, if the world is 2D? Shadoo’s eye is black, monochromatic like the rest of the pit. I can relate him to Dimentio, as he creates a clone of Mr. L instead of Luigi, for some reason. This “reason” could be Dimentio. Dimentio is defeated, yes, but what if he revived himself? He is the master of dimensions, so who couldn’t say that ANOTHER Dimentio from ANOTHER dimension revives him? | |||
I will get to the end of the mystery. | |||
If someone’s with me, but your username in a reply. | |||
We will solve Mario’s biggest mystery. [[User:ZKhay0|ZKhay0]] ([[User talk:ZKhay0|talk]]) 13:40, May 22, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:It's probably just for the sake of not spoiling that Luigi becomes an ally. {{User:PinkYoshiFan/sig}} 13:46, May 22, 2020 (EDT) | |||
::That can't be it, because the Tattle specifically calls him Dark Luigi. If anything, going to the Pit before unlocking Luigi is arguably an even bigger spoiler since it confirms Mr. L is Luigi, even though that was fairly obvious. Anyway, there's no mystery to be solved here. We don't know why they used the Mr. L sprite instead of Luigi as it's never explained why, and there's nothing official to suggest he's affiliated with Dimentio in some way. You can come up with all the fan theories and headcanons you want, but unless Nintendo officially comes out with more information on Shadoo, we can't include it on this article. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:51, May 22, 2020 (EDT) | |||
